The mine has coal reserves amounting to 88 million tonnes of coking coal, one of the largest coal reserves in Asia and the world. The mine had an annual production capacity of 7 million tonnes of coal.[1] The mine covers 12,600 ha of the Rangal Coal measures in the Bowen Basin.[2] In 2012, production at the mine was increased to 8.5 million tonnes a year.[3] Later in the year operations changed from seven days per week to five.[4] Curragh Coal Mine was previously owned by Wesfarmers Resources and has an expected mine life to 2025. Overburden is removed by Thiess.[2] In 2017, Coronado Coal Group purchased Curragh Coal Mine from Wesfarmers Resources. [5] Exports from the mine leave the country via the Blackwater railway system and the Port of Gladstone. Some of the coal is used to produce electricity at the Stanwell Power Station.
